The second most important thing in your life
|
It’s weekend. You’re probably in the couch… and unless you’re reading stuff like this newsletter and review how you can make more money… BAD! You’ve heard me saying it before. The most important decision in your life that will decide most of your chances of success is… Ahh… let me add something. The most important decision that will determine your chances of success and wealth is… The place you live. Yes, sorry. Very simple. Now you wonder, why people all around the world despite Trump and the media saying good and bad things about him and the USA, want to still go to the US. If you live in your home town of 4.100 people… your market is very limited, your providers, your talent pool, the jobs you can access… everything. Limited. Clients and money available to pay for you and/or your services. Very limited. Even if you have good connection to the internet and you dream about a solo freelancering thing. Limited. But let me tell you the second most important thing… And it isn’t what happens to the S&P 500… But, it’s your partner. Yes. The person you marry or stay around with every day.
If that sounds dramatic, it’s because it is. But also: it’s math. Married people build 77% more wealth than their single counterparts, according to research published in the Journal of Sociology. According to the St. Louis Federal Reserve in the US, married couples had $393,000 in median wealth in 2022. Unmarried individuals: $80,000. Economists say married couples are more likely to own appreciating assets. When you have a partner, you share dreams and realities. You’re merging balance sheets and belief systems, and the ROI can show up in every part of your life: Better financial outcomes Higher net worth More emotional resilience A stronger foundation for your kids Longer lifespan, fewer health issues, lower rates of depression. Logically, if you stay in a small town… the pool of potential partners is quite reduced… Well… if you’re single, time to switch to Tinder or… Click in the link below (also valid for happy married ones)

This is what a personal training used to position, tired of comparing and demonstrating how good she is. Not my method is better. Not I’m going to make you lose fat. Nope. Just the reality of what this is about. Have more s€x. That’s it. Being healthier or looking good are just collateral damages. Life is easier with an Ex-CEO on your ear. It’s about progress, personal growth… And of course. Valid for s€x too. What’s collateral damage? I leave that to you. Life is easier with an Ex-CEO on...
Once that you have decided what you want in life, it’s time for the next step. No matter whether you want… Change career path. Get into the PPP line. Get into business. Expand your business. Not matter what’s your decision. There is a common next step. Expand your network. i.e. get connected to the right people. As Grant Cardone said… “I don’t go to ‘work’. I go to my netWORK to increase my Net Worth.” You need to improve your network to increase your Net Worth. It’s not just about the...
Complexity is the enemy of clarity. And without clarity, you're invisible. I’ve been in meetings where technical guys discuss and discuss. Argue and argue. About the gender of the angels. For hours. For meetings. For months. Ego against ego. And you still miss the point. The clarity, the specificity of the problem. And they go invisible. For bosses and leaders alike. If you are able to explain complex things in a simple way, as if the person you talk to was 5 years-old… People will listen....
